As a wife, mom of four, and Certified Nutrition Counselor, I care about my impact on the food choices we make. Everything we eat has a profound effect on our bodies, the environment, and our future. We eat not just to satisfy hunger, but also to nourish and enrich our lives. Eating and buying clean resources keeps your body and the Earth healthy and thriving. Dedicated to educate on the Mind, Body, Spirit, and Food, looking at the whole body for that #OOLA life.

In a large pot add water, lentils and rice. Bring to a boil and then simmer Lentils and brown rice until nearly cooked. Add in the remainder ingredients. Cook over medium heat until vegetable are tender. I also like to add a 1/2 tsp if dried oregano, this is up to you while vegetable are softening you can taste and see. We love oregano in this house and is very good for you. It will be in one of the post next week.Project for today.

Thanksgiving Jar and/or Count your Blessings. This is a time to be thankful for all our family, friends, faith, and health. Chose a jar in the house to collect beans and lentils in. Every time someone in the house does something nice for someone else, add a bean or lentil. You can also add beans for Blessing, be creative. At the end of Lent, or Easter weekend, we will make up a stew of good deeds that will taste oh so good! Let us watch the jar fill up and then we will fill up our belly's. See a pretty way to decor your Good Deeds Jar or Blessing Jar here.
